negotiation

He was on CNN Wolf Blitzer

1. There is a reason Nancy is the Speaker. She knows what she is doing.

[Demsrule86]

14. I love Nancy but ...it will be more than three months before help will arrive

after Biden is sworn in and the economy will be worse and people like me will lose unemployment in December...we will starve. Send help it is desperately needed.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. What Yang knows about it, compared to Nancy, could fill a thimble

[still_one]

3. I agree

[LizBeth]

4. ya well. we will see down the road. I do not think Mitch will, I think Pelosi is willing.

Regardless the people and economy needs it before Dec 26.

[Demsrule86]

15. If it doesn't happen before the election do you think either Trump or McConnell will care about

the people's suffering? No they won't lift a finger. Something needs to happen before the election.

[LizBeth]

17. I agree so I would like to see it happen before. More just would like to see. I am desperate for

it to happen as so many in the nation are.

[Demsrule86]

20. I am desperate too...I don't see how we make it if nothing is done...and what if we don't get the

Senate? It is not a done deal. Get what we can now.

[LizBeth]

22. +1. I believe we will get senate, but waiting until they are in is a problem.

Most are going to be kicked off Dec 26 and it is very very hard to get on. I would not look forward to being kicked off and then having to go thru all that again.

5. Link? What did Yang say? Where did he say it? n/t

7. He was being interviewed on CNN. I don't have a link, I saw on Wolf Blitzer about 15 minutes

ago

[calguy]

6. I like Yang, but

he won how many delegates in the primaries? He has how much government experience?
I'll just rest my case right there because I really like the guy.

[Indykatie]

8. Yang is a Media Darling so They Give Him a Platform that Should Go to a More Seasoned Dem

The guy has never held elective office and hardly anyone had heard of him until 2020.

[JonLP24]

10. He didn't have a platform for disabilities

He was literally the only candidate without one. He focused too much on UBI which I worried would come at the expense of other safety net programs. I support expanding social security over UBI for example.

9. And give Trump a blank check? No way.

[jorgevlorgan]

11. Do we know what is in it yet?

[still_one]

12. Not that I am aware of, though different parties float out different talking points, nothing

is concrete

[jorgevlorgan]

13. I trust pelosi

If it was anything worth voting for, she would probably indicate that

[Demsrule86]

18. She is holding out for state money which is needed but it won't happen take the unemployment, which

extends it past December and the stimulus, there is also money for small business which will not survive until Biden arrives and the airlines. Hubs and I are both unemployed. I expect our elected to get what they can and not leave us to starve. Maybe Mitch will not do anything...it is possible but make him own it. Yang is right and doing nothing could suppress the vote for us and affect house races .

[still_one]

21. So do I

[GusFring]

16. Politically, I just don't see how you can justify giving this man another $trillion

Stimulus.

[Demsrule86]

19. People can't even pay their utility bills, are being evicted, losing their houses...etc.

And this will hurt the economy too...the money won't go to Trump but to unemployed people including Democrats like me.

[Thrax]

23. That's wishful thinking.

More likely it will just be another hand out to banks, hedge funds and the airlines.
A piddly $200 extra a week should it happen will not go far towards saving the unemployed.
